So to start out I don't have rabies!!! That's a relief!
Wednesday we had changes... I got my new greenie Elder
Azpilcueta of Mexico. At first I was thinking, "are you kidding
me" but oh my gosh I was wrong.. He is so awesome. He was baptized in
July... like 6 moths ago!! His mom has been a member her entire life, but he
never liked the church and kinda fell pretty deep over the years. About a
year ago he decided he wanted to turn his life around... got his stuff together
and was eventually able to get baptized and here he is!
I don't know what it is, but the spirit in our lessons
together has been so strong! I don't think I have cried over something spiritual
more than one time in my life before this week, but this week us 2 and
investigators have cried at least once a day... its been crazy!
He is teaching me soccer (he was semi pro working to be
professional when he fell into drugs that ended his chance of going on) and is
super super good at soccer and teaching it. I am teaching him English and
helping him get some of the doctrine down.
We are happy and doing really good.
My new district leader hates me (I think) because I don't want
to baptize a girl until her testimony is stronger so she doesn't just go
inactive, but he wants one more baptism for the district in January... we got
in a little argument about it and so now I'm pretty much enemy number 1 in his
eyes... Hope I wont suffer to much for it this change.
So Saturday we had the most spiritual lesson of my life. The
family told us they had never felt like they did wih us in that moment and it
was just amazing... They told us they were going to church the next day, (we had
reminded them about the importance of it and they weren't going to miss a
Sunday again...) So then Sunday in the morning we called them to see if we could
walk with them to church... The husband told me that they were already there.
After a little confusion I realized that we had got them super devoted to never
missing a Sunday in the church they had been attending before- not our
church. hahaahaha Oh gosh we felt so dumb to know we were helping activate
families in other churches. hahahaa
But yeah that's the life. Everything is good here. Happy and
100% healthy.
Love Elder Davis
